The Gap Between Imagination and Installation
Specifying floors from sample chips and catalog images is inherently imperfect. A 4"×4" sample in your hand looks very different from 800 square feet of the same product installed in a real room with real lighting conditions.
Mannington Design Lab was built to close that gap. Our visualization tools and curated design programs help homeowners, interior designers, and commercial specifiers make decisions they're genuinely confident about — reducing costly change-orders and post-installation regrets.

Tools Built for Real Specification Decisions
Upload a photo of your actual room and see any Mannington product applied in real-time. Adjust lighting conditions, compare up to 4 options side by side, and export comparison images for client presentations.
Annual trend reports developed with our in-house design team and validated against major international design shows. Each report maps global color directions to specific Mannington collections — helping specifiers stay ahead of trends without guesswork.
Tell us your project type, square footage, and design direction — we'll ship a curated sample kit of 8-12 products that match your requirements. Kits shipped within 2 business days. A/E firms receive quarterly update kits.
Mannington coordinates with leading cabinet, countertop, and wall covering manufacturers to provide curated material packages. Specify a complete interior solution from a single source, with verified aesthetic compatibility between all materials.
